material which comes to hand, Another l manufacturing company from Norristown Pa., is erecting fuel gas apparatus in Phila- delphi& to be worked in connection with an Illuminating gas plant already established there, and to furnish fuel gas for domestic and manufacturing purposes.
 The proposal to tax the deposits and sur
 plus funds of New York savings banks and
 trust companies at the same rate as other
 personal property held by individuals or the
 stocks of incorporated banks or companies is
 making quite stir. President Tumble,
 of the Bleecker street bank in New York
 city, thus forcibly sets forth what such 8
 tax would mean: The savings banks cannot
 now invest their deposits in any of the stock
 securities allowed by law at rates to pay over per cent. interest, while the rate on
 bond or mortgage will not average over 411s per cent. It is only by the possession of old investments, now fast running to maturity, that any of the savings banks are able to pay their depositors the present rates of in- terest, say 311s to 4 per cent. The rate of taxation in this city is about 214 per cent, anu suo Imposition UT Sucn tax upon the deposits and surplus of the savings banks would compel the immediate reduction of the interest dividends to 2 per cent. or less. In other words, this bill proposes what is equivalent to an income tax of over 50 per cent. on the savings of the laboring classes. The disastrous consequences of such an en- actment are easily foreseen. Among them it is only necessary to mention the discour- agement to the habit of saving, the with drawal of large amounts of money from the presen safe Repositories in the hope of doing better elsewhere, with the inevitable loss of a large portion to the owners through igno- rance and inexperience as investors and the disturbance to the general money market sure to follow large sales of securities by the savings banks.

Suicides in WashIngtop,

district official, who has head for fig ures and conclusions, tells me, says Wash ington correspondent, that since the Demo crats came into power the number of sui cides at the national capital has considerably increased. ''I explain it,' he says, sson very plain grounds. Nothing is to blame for it. It is simply the consequence Of a good many people being turned out of office and good many others failing to get offices. For the last fortnight We had suicide nearly every day. When there isn't suicide there is a shooting scrape of some sort, in which the man who shoots or the man who is shot is a fellow who has been in office or was waiting to get in" The increase of suicides is so de- cided that the boarding house keepers have begun to organize some sort of insurance against melancholy self -murderers One landlady writes in note in local newspa- per that within the past year she has had two interesting suicides at her house, which cost her nearly three hundred dollars She says that both left beautiful letters, but there wasn't dollar in their pockets, and they deluged her bed and carpet with blood One had a friend to bury him, but nsither had any friends to pay the damage done. I make the suggestion without charge that these much-suffering people organize them selves into 8 mutual insurance society. A slight annual premium from the innumera- ble boarding houses in this city would easily pay all losses from this cause.

WRITTEN ON HIS KNEE,
How Abraham Lincoln Composed His
 Celebrated Gettysburg Grafton.

How Abraham Lincoln Composed HIS Celebrated Gettysburg Grafton.
 ''I saw one Of the most splendid of com. positions in the English tongue written, ' said ex-Congressman Edward McPherson, while chatting about some of his recollec- tions of Lincoln recently. 'I believe that it is admitted now by scholars that for sub- limity of thought, simplicity and yet ele- gance of expression, lucidity and purity of diction, MT. Linooln's brief oration at the dedication of the National cemetery at Get tysburg takes place with the loftiest speci- mems of oratory. Many regard it as the one oratioa of this century that will be preserved with the English tongue. Yet MT. Lincoln wrote it on his knee In a railroad car It was practically an extemporaneous compoai- tien; that is in the sense that it was wholly unpremeditated. He simply committed to paper the thought that was uppermost in his mind, and he had no idea whatever that he had written anything more than a passing thought in the event that he was to assist in commemorating.
 ''I represented the Gettysburg district in Congress at the time of the battle, and at the dedication of the cemetery Mir. Lincoln was my guest. He was not sure that he could be present when he was first asked but said that he should go to Gettysburg if possible I think he was not prepared to say positively that he would go until @ very few hours be- fore the time set for leaving Washington So he could not have given any thought to the oration before. I was his seat mate in the car, and though he talked pleasantly and spoke of the co intry through which we were passing, yet thought he was laboring with one of those spells of profound melancholy with which he was at times afflicted. He spoke of MT. Everett, who was to deliver the chief oration, and said that Everett ought to be at his best. I knew that MT. Everett had given even more than his usual care in pre-

Washington NIarrfase Companies.

A number of clerks in the Treasury de- partment have formed a marriage insurance company, writes Washington correspon- dent of the Philadelphia Ledger. Twenty of them have already paid in their initiation fee and pledged themselves to stand by the contract. The number is limited to fifty, They agree to pay one hundred dollars each when one of the members get married. A marriage in the association is expected with in few days, and then there will be a test of the practical working of the organization. It is said that in one of the most fashionable clubs in Washington, close corporation, consisting of ten or twelve of the young and single members, has been formed for the purpose of marrying into the wealthy fami- lies. A contract is signed by each one en- terlng the organization to pay, within one year of the time of the marriage, ten per cent. of the money and property obtained by the marriage. It is agreed in the com- pact that the energy and influence of each member shall be exercised without restric- tion to the success of the end aimed at. Each man is agent for himself or some other member of the organization, and has his eyes open to ascertain where profitable mar riages can be made. When a courtship is begun the combination begins to work, and all kinds of schemes are manipulated to make his efforts successful.

THE NEGRO rEkxSIAH
Who Has Thrown the Colored Peop
 of the South Into a ErenzH

Who Has Thrown the Colored People of the South Into a Frenzy.
 "Yellowstone Kit," the negro mounte-
 bank who has startled several southern cities by appearing in the role of the Messiah and doing works meet for such a pretension is the sensation of the day at Jacksonville Fla The colored populace of the city and su- burbs, even for miles into the country, seem to be possessed with feelings of frenzy over
 a man who has the reputation of restoring sight to the blind, making the lame to walk and curing by the laying on of hands. So far has this man worked upon these people that he lectures them on their moral duties voting, social conditions, rights and reli- gious beliefs. He harangues violently, with peculiar flow of words; dresses eorgeously and gives away barrels of bread crackers meat and dresses to colored servants in ho- 1 tels and families. The latter. leave their work undone to such an extent, while they hover about the speaking stand, that com | plaints come in numerously to the city au-
 thorities on the matter. Sunday night over four thousand whites and blacks, many re- spectacle citizens among the former were gathered about his stand when someone threw stone, aimed at 'fKit," but which striking an electric light, demolished the globe. In an instant wild uproar followed People crowded about the stand, thinking an assault was intended on him. Riot was inn 1 minent when the sheriff came over, but by his loud outcry the ''Messiah" hushed the 1 crowd and had the blacks completely under | control. He leetured in favor of gamblers | on coming elections and is the talk of the day He is man of splendid build; dark,
 swarthy features, curling, linking hair of
 raven hlackness, piercing black eyes and l dresses very particularly, fairly blazing with
 genuine diamonds. The cast of his features
 and wild talk are partly responsible for the belief among the colored people that he is Messiah, as we'll as his alleged cure. In Key West excitement ran so high that fac tions were formed and attempt to assassi- nate Kit was made, in which he was severely injured. In Tallahassee, Fla, Bainbridge
 and Albany, Ga., and other sections the same
 peculiar excitement existed among the col
 ored people, all claiming that he is the ssMes-
 ty three thousand dollars from Key West.

THE STORY OF KIssANE.


 That is very strange story which has been collected concerning William Kissane, alias Colonel William R. Rogers Of Sonoma | county, Cal, wealthy land owner and we'll known citizen. It seems to be complete l now, and there is material enough in it for 1 at least one good sized novel.
 There are two principal parts of the story. One is told by the friends of Kissane. They admit that he committed forgery on the Chemical bank of New York city more than thirty years ago when he was doing an in- surance business in Cincinnati He paid back to the bank the greater part of it's loss, and after having served g ,aortion of penal term for his crime he s pardoned and re- leased.
 Subsequently he changed his name, went to California and built up there in the course of thirty years fortuae and good reputa- tion. He married an estimable woman and became the head of one of the best connect ed families in the State, his previous record meanwhile being unknown. There were two indictments against him in New York for the deed which sent him to prison, upon one of which only he was tried. The other remains standing against him yet, and he re- gently made an attempt through an attorney to have this quashed, which attempt result ed in his exposure.
 The other part of the story is that this ap- parently respected citizen of Sonoma county, California, is under indictment for murder in Arkansas, which resulted from the great loss of life by the burning of the steamer Martha Washington, bound from Cincinnati for New Orleans, near Helena Ark, on the night of January IA, 1852. He was in Janu- ary, 1853, together with some others, placed on trial for conspiracy to defraud insurance companies by insuring fictitious cargoes said to have been lost by the burning of the steam CT Martha Washington. He was convicted on three occasions in Cincinnati on those charges, but each time he man aged to evade the law. After this he was arrested for murder and aken to Helena, but owing to lack of funds and the failure to provide an appropriation for his prosecution he again escaped punishment. While in Sing Sing for forgery he secured his pardon by making full confession of the conspiracy, the burning of the boat and the efforts to became known it caused con sternation He afterwards violated his promises to the in- surance companies and fled to Nicaragua, wqere under the name of William K. Rogers he became a trusted lieutenant of William Walker, the fiibusterer. There he was said to have been killed and all trace of him was lost.
 It is asserted that his exposuAs now is due to the vengeance of some of those whom he injured during his criminal career. His change from detested villain to solid and respected citizen was a remarkable one, and the change back is also 8 remarkable one.
